Speaking up about sexual harassment

-

On Oct. 17, Cerina Vincent added her voice to the #Metoo movement addressing sexual harassment.

“Looking back, I’ve had enough stories of levels of inappropri­ate, it could be a miniseries … at least,” she posted on Instagram. “And not just from the entertainm­ent business. This is happening all over the world, and for decades. No one story is special. I’m just happy we’re collective­ly having this conversati­on. Love and light to everyone who’s felt violated, disrespect­ed, embarrasse­d, ashamed, annoyed, infuriated, insecure, disgusted or afraid over someone else’s selfish behavior.”

Asked simply, “What’s wrong with men?” she responds, “I don’t know. I don’t know.” “I am elated, elated, every time something comes out because the fact that these men — and, you know what, it can happen the other way around, too, like, I know that it can — I don’t know where they get it. I don’t know how they go to sleep at night. I don’t know how you move through life knowing deep down that you’re a scumbag.”

Vincent, who co-authored the book “How To Love Like a Hot Chick: The Girlfriend to Girlfriend Guide to Getting the Love You Deserve,” still loves romance despite having had “so many different versions of experience­s like this.”

“When men come at you like that, or just hearing these stories, it’s so gross,” she says. “What happened to the classy, romantic man?”
